Treasured Gifts

* Love’s inextinguishable flame — undimmed by trouble, illuminating our innermost being

* The privilege of living as a child of the Light

* The possibility of shining for God, even when society throws cold water on heaven’s fire

* The joy of walking with the Light of the world–enabling us to survive tough times with equanimity, sing in all circumstances, and hope for the dawn beyond the darkness of despair

Today’s Affirmation

Placing my ego on the altar, I will let ambition go up in humbling smoke, and allow self-centeredness 
to be consumed by the blaze of absolute holiness. Surrendering to the holy Flame, I will dare to be God’s fuel, praying that by grace I may be “a burning and a shining light” that will never burn out.
